Pay Up: ‘Basketball Wives’ Cast Threatening To Walk

The ladies of “Basketball Wives” Miami is threatening to shut it down unless VH1 pays up. According to TMZ,filming began last week for the 5th season, but Shaunie O’Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman and Suzie Ketcham contracts are not locked in.

According to their sources:

The “Wives” are in the process of renegotiating their contracts and they all want major pay raises, claiming the show does quite well for the network.

Our sources say VH1 is refusing to pony up more cash. We’re told before filming started, execs made it clear that salary increases would not happen and if any cast member had a problem with that … they could be replaced.
